History Of Violence Lyrics - Belly

The Middle East 

Let Go. Yea. 

I got a lot of shit on my chest. A lot of weight on my shoulders. Too much shit on my mind. 

I gotta let it out. My people need me. 

Look. Me, in four I was born in a war-torn corner. 

Jenin, Phaliastine (Palestine) where the bombs stomped on us 

Try to escape but they never stop falling on us 

We'd end up with the weight of thw whole world on us 

What's the difference between peace and war, 

You can make war from peace, but not peace from war 

Man, why you think they teach us for 

What the speech is for 

Can't nobody fuckin' speak no more 

Not I'am getting to the point I cant breath no more. 

'cause all I ever read is disease and war 

Young soldiers die before their seeds are born 

They go back and fourth, 

Like somebody's keeping score 

And if I know, 

That mean that somebody else know 

If we all know that doesn't mean that helps close 

I want peace I guess that makes me a dreamer, 

This is for the victims of the Middle East and Katrina

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Do we deserve this 

Is it worth it 

Why the fuck they got us feeling like we worthless 

They do it on purpose and it's workin' 

Hey, I aint tryna say that we perfect 

We had a history of violence 

We had a history of violence 

We had a history of violence 

We had a history of violence 

We had a history 

Photos 

We aint asking you to love us 

Stop tryna judge us 

Who made the decision to go ahead and say fuck us 

But you seeing them hover 

It doesn't matter how high 

Them warplanes fly 

God's above 'em 

What happened to Palestinian right, Lebanese freedom 

Or war aimed at civilian life 

Building get shot down, children goin' fight 

Millions watch but they keep on killing despite 

I'am watching daughters that cry 

Over father that die, 

Hit the power plans, 

No power, No water supply 

Forget the lies; this is when the truth comes in 

They hit airports and ports so no food comes in 

My spinnin' is the worlds revolvin' 

Right now we teaching our kids that if theres a problem only war can solve it 

Truth or dare, tell the truth I dare 

Discount boys with toys, like they who to a mayor 

Theres people out there too broke to give us their two cents 

I speak for them 

If you relate I speak for you too then 

They say peace, but we don't have a clue when 

How we let them drop bombs on the UN 

Tears trickle down my face 

This is a war against my race 

So don't just expect me to fall in my place 

Think of the kids, they cant be replaced 

It a disgrace 

Over one million civilians displaced 

Tryna hold back his cries, one hand on his mouth 

His Paps died in a Levi, he the man of no house 

Aint no plannin' it out 

This is what this land is about 

And he'll be damned if he let them kick his family out 

I've seen it 

Am I dreamin' 

They call us names, when they acting like extremists 

They left us in pieces 

That's not what peace is 

That's not the teachings of Mohamed, Moses, Jesus 

Do we deserve this 

Is it worth it 

Why the fuck they got us feeling like we worthless 

They do it on purpose and it's workin' 

Hey, I aint tryna say that we perfect 

We had a history of violence 

We had a history of violence 

We had a history of violence 

We had a history of violence 

We had a history 

What happened to our History 

All the good we've done 

Y'all base your opinion on us, based on what 2% of the religions thinks or the race thinks 

We lost a million civilians in Iraq, 

That more than what terrorists strike ever took 

We lost more American soldiers, then we did innocent lives on September 11th 

How does that equal out 

And its all for oil, money, political games 

Damn 

What happened to being civilized people 

Were all a civilization, arnt we 

For all the people that lost their lives in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, or anywhere else across the world 

This is for you
